Abstract:		"Two combinations of assembly pheromone (AP), with and without hematin were utilized as a lure for the unfed larvae, nymph and adults of Rhipicephalussanguineus ticks. In-vitro trials were carried out with the AP encapsulated in calcium alginate beads and the response of different stages of ticks were recorded. Analysis of results revealed that rapid attraction was evident in unfed larvae exposed to beads containing AP without hematin. In case of unfed nymphal and adult stages, the presence or absence of hematin did not have any impact on arrestment"
